TEACHING FOR THINKING
How To Foster Curiosity, Critical Thinking, and Deep Learning in Classrooms and Schools
What do you want the children you teach to be like when they are adults?
Picture learners who are curious question-askers, wondering at and about the world around them... learners who are balanced, reflective, open-minded yet healthily sceptical, metacognitive, and alert to nuance.
This highly practical, one-day course in London is designed for teachers and school leaders (primary and secondary) who want to transform learning by cultivating thinking dispositions, engagement, and deep understanding. Drawing on Cultures of Thinking™ pedagogy from Harvard, you’ll explore how to create classrooms and school cultures where students grow as curious and critical thinkers who love to learn.
Book your place today and start cultivating a culture of thinking in your school.
